Erica--
My preference is:
MacroMedia for the web stuff. (DW, FW, Flash, Director) and FreeHand for
vectors.
Adobe for PhotoShop. I used to have Illustrator as well, but stopped
upgrading a few versions ago.
RE Evilness, I have found MacroMedia to be friendlier and easier to work
with, but, lets face it, we need PhotoShop--nothing else comes close.

Okay, not going to worry about Debabelizer.
On to the next issue. Macromedia vs. Adobe. At home I've found that
I can't hardly do what I want to do unless I have Illustrator and
Photoshop.
With Photoshop 5.5/Imageready, I don't feel such a need to use
Fireworks to export gifs. So if I want to do vector art, I use
Illustrator, because I can't seem to import Freehand files into
Photoshop. Unless I run them thru Fireworks first.
Jeez. I could have said that better but...
Now assuming I want to use FLASH down the road... and I want to work
with both vector and bitmap graphics...
Do I need FREEHAND and FIREWORKS and FLASH and ILLUSTRATOR and
PHOTOSHOP and IMAGEREADY?
And out of curiosity... which company is more evil, Macromedia or
Adobe? Which one comes up with the cool ideas first, and which one
is the copycat? Or is this question as complicated as the
compatibility question?
There must be an easier way.

(wants a Mac and a PC and Adobe and Macromedia and Cold Fusion Studio
and BBEdit...yikes! this is getting expensive...)
